    Abstract

    In the oil industry logging service companies have developed refined tools for measuring porosity and methods for determining the complex lithology of drilled rock sequences. The method of using porosity logs, the neutron porosity and bulk density logs, in combination with gamma ray and interval transit time (sonic) logs in lithological interpretation is demonstrated. Properly calibrated and scaled, the logs can be used to distinguish the lithology of single beds and rock successions. These can be correlated from well to well within a basin. Log responses comparable to rock successions found in the Norwegian-Danish Basin are used and illustra te the use of logs to erect lithostratigraphical units and for basin analyses.
